If you liked The Martian at all and are looking for something with that level of competency porn but a bit more sci-fi, this is the book for you. I cheered, I laughed, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. There is an added mystery element on top of all the problem solving that goes on, and while it’s nothing world changing, it is engaging and impactful. Just good, well-researched, thrilling sci-fi fun!

I really enjoyed this! The scientific explanations went over my head a bit so I did find myself skipping big chunks of the book because I just didn’t understand what was going on. 
It’s sort of the same characters and formula (ish)  ‘The Martian’ used, but I guess if you’ve found something that works stick to it! 
Overall it was an interesting read, and I really loved Rocky.
